An easier week for most as the skies give us a bit of a reprieve and we begin to integrate everything that happened last week!
(yes, for once I am not writing 'this is an intense week' - changes though with Venus and Mars changing signs last Sunday and Mercury mid week - we are moving ahead!)
WEDNESDAY - Mercury into Pisces
THURSDAY - Vesta into Aquarius
SUNDAY - Sun conjuncts Neptune
On WEDNESDAY, Mercury enters Pisces.
Mercury ingresses from Aquarius into the sign of Pisces. Mercury
rules our thinking, our communication, our ideas. He/she is considered
in her fall/detriment in Pisces (because she rules Pisces polarity sign of Virgo). Virgo's Mercury likes things clear and concise - she wants B to follow A and is sure things would move more efficiently if everyone would just dot their i's and cross their t's.
Pisces (ruled by Neptune and ruler of our collective 12th house) is the space where rules/boundaries are more fluid. B might follow A. But just as easily A could drift right on past B. It is the space of imagination, universal love, our dreams,
spirituality, our connection to each other through the ethereal realms
and our emotions, the ways we escape, the things we do last, the things we put away, addictions, delusions, hospitals, prisons, addicts, victims, saviors, martyrs.
You can see how fast-moving Mercury could be a bit out-of-whack here.
So maybe our thinking slows down a bit. Our words drift off course. We
started to say this and now we are saying that. The words that were so
clear and crisp in airy Aquarius, don't come as easily because maybe we
start feeling their impact on the other person now. Or maybe we
start feeling like one of those old anti-drug commercials but instead of
eggs - it is our brain frying on the sidewalk.
Details can be fuzzy. Our thinking might be, too.
With Pisces ruler of the last house of the zodiac maybe a conversation comes to an end
now.
This is wonderful energy for artists, poets, musicians, meditation, spirituality, healing. With Mercury (ruler of Gemini) in this universal space our words can cast even more powerful S-P-E-L-L-S - keep this in mind. This is not such wonderful energy for to-do lists and more practical concerns, so double check communications. Re-read important papers. Give other people
a break when their language isn't as concise as you would like it to
be. When we just can't decide. Mercury in Pisces takes in so much universal information from the world that it becomes hard to take a singular stance. Our thinking becomes more intuitive.
Cold facts are not so cold and hard decisions go limp. Lies might be
spoken and take on a life of their own. That whole "alternative facts"
thing applies.
It is the time to let our mental defenses down and just feel it. Or to guard against this very thing - depending on the situation!
We don't have to understand everything or figure everything out. Pisces dissolves. Pisces feels. Pisces is a water sign and heals through wetness - blood, sweat and tears (I would avoid the blood though if possible).
If we want/need to cry, and even if it turns into one of those big old
ugly cries that has our eyes all scrunched up two days later and
people asking us what the hell is the matter - it's time to cry. You
will probably not need me to tell you this though .....
If you really need to knuckle down mentally now it could be best to give
Neptune some creative time - meditate, color, paint, etc, FIRST.
On THURSDAY, Vesta enters Aquarius
Vesta, the energy of sacred devotion and absolute focus, moves from the sign of the past - Capricorn - into the sign of the future - Aquarius. Now, we have Venus, Mars, Saturn and Vesta in Aquarius and we have Neptune, Jupiter and Mercury in Pisces. Our Aquarius and Pisces houses are locked and loaded. With Vesta in airy Aquarius maybe things feel a little less personal. The fire that we need to keep burning is maybe a more universal flame than one in our actual living-room.
On SUNDAY, the Sun conjuncts Neptune at 22 degrees Pisces
Having the Sun conjunct Neptune while he is in Pisces answering to
Neptune is not the same as having the Sun blow out a planet (in this case Neptune) by eclipsing him. Neptune is still strong here. I think we get the best of Neptune - the transcendence, without the
mind-blowing bullsh*t. Our rose-colored glasses lose their rose-colored
tinting while somehow still retaining their rose-coloring abilities.
Does this make sense? An enlightened Neptune gets the solar light of the Sun. Illusions burned away. Clarity. Our big idealized dream is endorsed by the Sun. Something like that. Great for making art, meditating, healing, spirituality. This aspect can be exhausting though - get some extra sleep.
